About my photography

My name is Mimo Khair. This website is used for occasional blogging and showcase for my art.

I believe that art is life and life is art. I create whenever I can, however I can and wherever I am.

Life inspires me and humanity motivates me.

My photography style is mainly but not limited to ‘documentary’ and ‘street photography’, focusing often on social issues and the human condition. I also experiment daily with mobile photography and more abstract artful use of the camera.

I currently use a Canon 5D mark 3 with a variety of lenses, a fujix100t and an iphone6.

Hi, I came across your blog. Great work! Interesting content. Your photography is amazing. I enjoy to read blogs from people around the world and different cultures. I am a food blogger from Canada, and I invite you to visit/follow my blog at: https://zest4foodblog.wordpress.com Cheers, Angelika

Hi! I just visited your blog following a wordpress sugestion and am glad I did – seems like I’m doing what you did in your second year blogging. I’m glad to see you´ve overcome the challenge! Right now, I’m hoping to have the 365 archived photos I promised, not so professionally though.. I’ll try to learn from you following your blog now! 😀

Hi there, I’ve just discovered your blog. It is an amazing project, challenging though to post every single day for a year. I can’t wait to read more and check out your photos which look really beautiful. I’ve only read your latest post, the words and pictures are powerful and deliver your message and what’s inside your mind and thoughts so well. So, nice job, I will stick around.

Hi Mimo – your work is beautiful, each image is so potent with story. I use photographic images as part of my writing process – to capture a particular feeling or tone, to remember, to re-trace or to discover what has been lost/destroyed. Your photographs do all of this and more. Thank you for sharing them.

Hi Mimo, I just discovered your blog and wanted to tell you that it’s beautiful. I love your photos, so colorful and full of life. I look forward to following your blog and wish you all the best. Irene 🙂

Its great to follow your journeys, the eye you have on people and “landscape”, and the way you weave the subjects of photos, on after the other. Different subjects, differents way to build the picture. Great ! wouaoooowww !!!!

Hi Mimo. Nigel from the village in galilee here. I think your project, your pictures and your content are awesome inspiring insiteful and essenceful and I intend to follow your adventures. Thanks for the sharing and all the best
Also hopeyou can come visit israel.

Hi Mimo,
I had the opportunity to see your work, that I’ve found really beautiful, interesting and full of passion. The picture that struck me the most is: framed ~ Yunnan – great photo, great composition and excellent glance … is imprinted as unique and beautiful moment of a particular reality and everyday life, telling by a particular POV.
I’ll follow with interest your work!
You’re welcome to visit my blog and my work!

Hi ~Mimo~ No need for a reply, you have thousands of previous admirers who have dibs on your time. I’m sure it’s been said to you before, but your point of view, the perspective, the angles and cropping of your photos, the layout and ease of use of the blog, all make your site a real joy to visit. I’ve become a water person myself, hence a bit ill at ease on the WWW, but your photography generates vivid flashbacks on places once visited, and admiration when you treat the unknown. I don’t know you from Eve, ~Mimo~, yet through your work, I think I do. 🙂

Please count me in! :). I don’t have 365 projects, but I am trying to get into the habit of blogging regularly. It’s a kind of discipline I should need to acquire.

Sorry, took me a little while before I was able to come back again. In the past weeks, devoted time to fix and improve my blog. Now it looks like a real blog now :). Thanks to the friends in the blogosphere world. I find it really a great way to connect with people and learn from each other’s culture and traditions. And photographs are a great way to convey emotions!

Mimo… THANK you!! You are a true inspiration to the world! I can’t even begin to imagine your dedication and determination … You’ve opened my eyes to new possibilities.. as I am gathering information to start a project of my own.. Thank you, again!! 🙂

Wonderful blog, I´ve been following you in Flickr, but I haven´t came across your blog till today, this is a fantastic project, I love your captures and the way you talk about them, so inspiring. I am doing my own 365 project (currently publishing my post number 169) and it´s an amazing way to stay connected to myself and the world around me.

Hi, I just recently came across your blog. I am relatively new to photography and going through your pictures, with their simplistic yet poetic beauty, truly inspired me. I have started my 365 (well, 366) day project and I hope I have it in me to keep going and continue learning.

Hi Mimo! Congrats on being Freshly Pressed! wahoo!
December 2010 I started a little project called 365: A Study. Images only taken with a smart phone. This short time ago I wasn’t surfing, blogging and barely keeping my website updated with my projects. A year and a half later I am much more into persay surfing and thanks to my drive to get a better photography website and a techy friend of mine I am now very connected. I’ve been on WP for a few months now and realize this 365 project is everywhere. I’m hummbled and I would like to stay here.
Your 365 project is very interesting and i look forward to more of your posts. You mentions blogroll. I use blogroll to visit my fav site and ones I want to keep up on in my time. Please feel free to add me to your blogroll as I will be adding your site to mine.
Cheers

Your posts on Lebanon are absolutely beautiful, and they stir memories of love and longing in me. Although I’m originally Lebanese, I never lived there, but my parents took us back for visits, and we grew up with the love of our culture instilled deeply in us, and I know it will always be a huge part of me. Reading your posts and seeing the photos made me so nostalgic, as it’s been several years since I’ve been back. I’m hoping I’ll get a chance to go back soon, and to finally show my husband the beautiful land that is Lebanon. Thanks for sharing such lovely posts; I really look forward to seeing more!

Mimo! I can’t believe you are almost done with your 365 project. Will you continue on with another 365 project when this is over in a couple of weeks? Love your photos, very professional looking. I just nominated your site/blog for the Kreativ Blogger Award in my post this morning. Looking forward to more of your posts!

Your 365 picture project is beautiful and very rich with essence! Thank you so much for sharing your daily devotion with us. It causes me to stand still and contemplate the value and specialness of life. And it is great to hear from you! Cisca (Celeste)

Wow!! This is truly inspiring, and makes me want to start my own 365. For now I have a blog that is more about photography and literature, (still finding my way there!) but I love the idea of taking one picture a day and posting!! So wonderful, thank you!

That’s so great that you are making this into its own blog Mimo! I’ve just loved doing a 365 – it is so challenging to create every day and really pushes you beyond the limits of what you thought you could do. I’m excited to watch your year unfold…

It really is a very challenging project! I am so enjoying the pressure of it, it is great! Great we can keep in touch through this, and I am amazed at your style and how it has grown to be so unique and wonderful Patty! Do you also have a blog?
